#Google earth gps tracks windows
(Older Windows versions of GE inherited a IE-based split-screen browser that always felt tacked-on and which never gained much traction. There is a third major new feature in GE 5.2:Įmbedded browser: Now that Google Chrome is a mature cross-platform web browser, why not leverage it in Google Earth? GE 5.2 seamlessly integrates the web browser across all three platforms - PC. In addition, if you collect other data with your GPS device - such as heart-rate data - this too can be visualized if imported. It’s quite a sophisticated tool and best grasped simply by playing with it - Dan Barcay’s post on Google Lat-Long Blog provides some sample tracks to use. If you select a range of data, you get information such as total distance, elevation changes, maximum slopes, average speeds and much more. A new panel appears at the bottom of the window graphing relevant data such as height and speed. GE 5.2’s GPS importer creates these tracks automatically, but you can of course also roll your own.Įlevation profiles: In GE 5.2, you can right-click on any track or linestring in the Places sidebar to select “Show Elevation Profile”. This is the place to start for all development of what will surely become the de facto means of visualizing GPS data in Google Earth. The KML Reference page is now updated with a thorough explanation of the new extension to KML. Using tracks also lets GE 5.2 interpolate positions between the given time data. This object can be a point, but can also be a complicated 3D model, say of a sailboat. Briefly, tracks let you assign multiple time values to an object. With GE 5.2, Google introduces an extension to KML called tracks, which aims to give you the best of both worlds. Tracks: Previously, if you wanted to import GPS data into Google Earth you would either end up with a large collection of detailed points or else a much more compact linestring of the path that removed most of the point data. GE 5.2 comes with two new powerful tools for analyzing your GPS-tracked trips: Tracks, and the visualization of elevation profiles and telematics: This latest release focuses on improving the visualization of user-generated data collected via the many GPS devices on the market today. Over on Google’s official Lat-Long Blog, Peter Birch has the announcement and the overview of new features.
